You shoot at the hull and hope to knock off the weapons and crew (which, if enough are killed, can also slow down the ship). If you want to plunder and abandon the ship, you shoot at the rigging.<br /><br />But there is always a chance of hitting the lower rigging while aiming at the hull, or hitting the hull while aiming at the rigging.<br /><br />My next headache in the rules is "crew quality." I'm steadily working at it, but been letting things percolate there.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-12139364958982074812019-03-25T12:09:41.828-06:002019-03-25T12:09:41.828-06:00Tell me if this is right; you can target either th...Tell me if this is right; you can target either the hull or the rigging, and there is no damage roll. The damage is determined by the to hit chart and you cause 1/2, 1, or 1 1/2 damage to either the hull or rigging or split between both depending on where you are aiming and your roll.Lance Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817319325489613672noreply@blogger.com
